23.0 Editing Icons for Drivers and Applications

The Icon editor enables you to create customized icons for your drivers and applications. You can enrich predefined templates or images with labels, choose background images and colors, and overlay images. Within minutes, you can create a custom branded icon for your implementation, including your company’s logo or name.

In the Modeler, select a driver, then click
Properties.

The object properties dialog box displays the default icon.

Click
iManager Icon >
New.

To enter text for your icon, select
Labels, then click
Add.

To edit the label, click
new in the
text column, type a new label, then click
Update.

You can edit the label, control its placement through the Offset X and Offset Y options, and edit font size, font type, and color.

To select an image, click the cell in the
File column, select a filename from the drop-down list, then click
Update. To place the image farther below the text, increase the value in the
Offset Y column.

To add a background color or image to your icon, select
Background.

To change the background color, click the Browse button next to the
Background Color field, select a color form the palette, then click
OK. You can also click the Browse button next to the
Background Image field, select a filename from one of the folders (for example,
gradients), then click
Open.

To change the background image, click the Browse button next to the Background Image field, select an image from the
applications folder, then click
Open.

To create a similar icon for iManager, select
Derivations, then select
Driver or
Application.

This transfers the icon to the driver’s or application’s iManager properties. (See the iManager icon on the driver properties page.)
